Yesterday Rodolfo showed us how to put the current weather conditions on your desktop, and today he's back with a shell script to parse an RSS feed and display it in plain text. Just like yesterday's script, this can be used anywhere with access to the Bash shell and common *nix commands, including Cygwin for Windows. The text output can then be added to the desktop using GeekTool for the Mac—but enterprising readers could modify it to work with Conky on Linux or Samurize on Windows.
